Red Cream Soda
$199.00
A unique drive, circuit, and sonic. Clean boost to hard overdrive with a versatile treble cut. If a Centaur and a TS had a baby. That would be the best way to describe the Red Cream Soda. Off the beaten path inverting gain stages overdrive with BAS33 diodes in an asymmetrical clipping arrangement, and an instrument signal pathing blend to shape overdrive and boost characteristics.
LEVEL: Your boost and volume control.
GAIN: You pick, this is your world, no mistakes here. Huge gain swing from min to max.
HI CUT: Control your highs, send them to bed.
BLEND: Send your instrument signal down the clean path(CW)of the circuit or direct the signal down the overdrive path(CCW). This Blend allows you to turn the RCS into an effective clean or dirty boost. Blend can also help keep humbucker signal together(Full CCW).

Awesome. The best word that comes to mind when describing this pedal. Jordan is such a nice guy and puts so much care and thought into his work. Plug a strat into this thing and set some time aside, because you’ll want to play for hours. Every recording studio should have one of these on deck.

Great pedal, does what it’s intended to do with the blend of the two overdrive circuits. The pedal was initially a little noisy with my setup, when I asked Jordan about it he went out of his way to make a tweak to the circuit to make it a little quieter. I shipped the pedal to him and he swapped out the circuit for the updated version. The circuit tweak ended up being permanent change in the latest circuit. Great customer service.

As many have already mentioned in demo videos on YouTube. If a Klon and a Tube Screamer have a baby, you get The Red Cream Soda.
It’s been hailed as a secret weapon of tonal bliss– the perfect blend of smooth, rich overdrive and punchy, dynamic tones. Whether you’re after that creamy mid-range sweetness or that classic, full-bodied drive, the Red Cream Soda has got you covered.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on the 2024 Black Friday Blackout Edition, but the stock V2 is the same as mine. (minus the pedal color)
Great job Jordan & Mary, you knocked it out of the park with this one.
